I had a new interest in exploring storefront typography around the US. I studied some retro typefaces and picked a bold "I" design to play with. I drew and cut many "I" letters on the faux leather, and began to create an upward line, the"I"'s mirroring each other and floating in space.
Get to Know the Austin Artist:
Living in a youthful and transitional communal home of people of all walks of life and working in a new job in upholstery while exploring Austin and its people by bike and foot is what made way to new inspirations and new beginnings for my personal and artistic journey.
I considered my recent interest in the weave of fabrics I have been exposed to while working in upholstery. The intricate connection of yarns represents to me life complexity and bonding. I noticed a continuous diagonal zig-zag pattern in the yarns which I was interested in and I applied them to my previous acrylic works.
